Story 38 - Birbal and Akbar's Ring
Once Akbar went for hunting, and there his ring fell in a dry
well. Now how to take that ring out. They did not have any means to take it out. Then
Birbal said, "Huzoor, if you give me some time I can take your ring out of this well.
Akbar had no alternative.
Birbal went around and brought some fresh cow dung and threw it on
the ring. He then tied a stone on one end of a string, and holding the other end in his
hand threw the stone on the cow dung. He waited for a long time - cow dung to be dried,
and then pulled the string out of the well. The string brought the stone, the stone was
stuck into cow dung and the cow dung had the Emperor's ring at its bottom.
